Happy mornin' to you...

it's time to roll out of bed...

get your clothes on...

and head for the nearest thrift store...

or antique mall...

and find some treasures today...

I've got an ear ache...

so I'm shopping from home...

went to bed before 8 last night...

then woke up just before the guys went to bed...

blog hopped and went back to bed...

got up so stinkin' early...

had breakfast 2 hours ago...

everyone is still snoring here...

I think I'm going to lay back down with the heating pad again...

got to be up when the guys get up so I can start bossing them around...

it should be a fun day...

using the hot glue gun later...

burnt fingers is one of my favorite smells...

and it happens every time...

I think I will make some more tags later, too...

and I have to try these easy to do cookies from NanaDiana's blog...

I'll blog later and let you know how it all turns out!

Have a super sweet day!

Postcard Friendship Friday...

I bought this postcard on eBay some time ago...

this is the Columbian Building in my town...

the backof the postcard stamped 26 April 1909...

a blow up of the front of the building...

the old stairs were still there until just a couple years ago...

they were taken down for safety reasons...

the old gaslight that used to hang in the intersection of Main and Pike Streets...

the building as it is today...

it is in the process of being restored and is used a community building...

we have many functions in here throughout the year...

the inside has been stripped completely and bathrooms added...

the inside is brick walls, tin ceilings, cast iron poles for support and wood floor...

pin tucking was done on the back wall and side...

it was sand blasted and sealed...

new windows on the side and back...

new heating system and lights...

the building is owned by the city...

saved by donations...

it was to be torn down...

my boys and I crawled every inch of that floor with hammers pulling nails before it could be used...

we cleaned and hauled trash...

and we have enjoyed the use of it now for several years...

and we are a town of about 1000...

it even housed a 2 lane bowling alley upstairs years ago...

the man who used to pin spot still in his teens still lives here in town...

I always look for postcards from our town...

and sometimes...

I get real lucky...

Happy PFF to everyone!

awards...

I have received a couple awards in the last week...

from two of the sweetest ladies around...

and they touch my heart daily in their posts and comments...

I can't imagine my days here without them...

and I just wanted to thank them...

just for thinking about me...

I have already been given these awards before...

but it still means so much to be thought of...

first is the versatile blogger award...

from Donnie...

 http://newblessingeveryday.blogspot.com/

and then I got the stylish blogger award...

from Simply Debbie...

http://iamsimplydebbie.blogspot.com/

both of them so deserve these awards...

they have the biggest hearts and brightest spirits...

their blogs are real and honest...

and they post from the heart...

and they just make the world a better place for being in it...

if you haven't visited them yet...

then it's time you met Donnie and Debbie...

you will be so glad that you did...

Thanks again, girlfriends...

you're the best!

I have already answered the questions and passed these awards on before, so I don't think I'm supposed to do it again...

but I can accept the awards and the thoughts behind them...

RESCUED, EVERYONE OF THEM...

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHELTERS...

THEY GIVE BACK MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER GIVE THEM..♥

last night fun...

wanted to show you this...

Dh found this for me at the Dollar Tree last weekend...

it's soap...

you use one petal for each hand washing...

these will be so nice to use...

and it it's at the DT...

you know it's a dollar...

and I made some of these...

and some more of these...

a button will go in the center and the little bows I made on top...

priced a couple of elephants for the booth...

and this...

a child's vintage pink dish drainer...

with little tulips...

I have had this forever, stowed away, not knowing what to do with it...

so in my purging...

I'm letting it find another home...

DON'T FORGET TO KEEP PRAYING FOR DEBBIE!
